FWIW, I totally second *all* of DeeDee's reply smile

If there is a need, they should be meeting the need. If the data show that any special accommodations are necessary, there should at least be a 504 plan.

hnz1979, I think you mentioned in an earlier post that your ds is going to have a 504 plan (or already has one). The things you've mentioned above can all be provided as part of a 504 plan. You can also try to think of ways your ds could work sensory-helps into his classroom routine without having to request it or having to be pulled out for them. Maybe let him know that if he's frustrated it's ok to get up and carry a big stack of books from one place to another. Granted, the teacher has to agree that's ok - but it's that type of thing that worked best when advocating for sensory breaks for our sensory dd in early elementary rather than trying to convince the school to write up formal accommodations.

Best wishes,
